In 2009, Bush was the keynote speaker at a Schwab event where they invited the top independent financial advisors in the country. I was not on the invite list, but a few of my colleagues were. These are sharp guys, and they were blown away about how intelligent he was. Just the opposite of what they'd been led to expect.
Anecdotal, but an interesting observation, I thought.
Yeah people pointed this out during his presidency. He seemed far more articulate and intelligent in pre-presidency clips.
Drugs was a common speculation, as was some sort of act to be relatable as a country bumbkin despite being born in Connecticut and attending Yale and Harvard.
He bought a ranch in Texas before running to help with this image, and IIRC he sold it not long after 2008.
I started disliking him on 9/12/01 after his speech. At the time, I thought he blew the opportunity to unite the world and instead turned it into a holy war.
I’ve heard rumors on the internets that when you’re in his profession you have to repeat yourself a lot to kind of catapult the propaganda and put food on your family.
“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
“Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across the country.”
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
“I’ll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.”
Great game. Did you prefer to attempt fording the rivers, caulking/floating your wagon, taking a ferry, or waiting 2 weeks to see if conditions improved?
Indeed it was. I wasn't very good at it, I usually died of starvation, dehydration or disease or the livestock died before I could do anything cool but dang I always enjoyed playing it regardless of how bad I was.
No joke. I worked for a company for a short time that distributed the Apple IIe. Apple had a major distribution contract with schools. They subcontracted out organizations to do the repair work on those things. That was a miserable computer to work on. 5lbs of crap in a 10lb. bag.
Man I remember watching on TV when 7 fell and the media was so quick to brush it off like it wasn't a big deal. "nobody was inside, it was just the aftermath of being damaged from the towers. At the time I remember thinking that makes no sense at all, why didn't all the other buildings fall too then? I was 11 years old and my BS meter was going off like crazy.
I hate having shook this dipshits hand. It's depressing thinking about how brainwashed we all used to be honestly. I legit thought he was the best thing for our nation.
It was one of those moments where the liberal pussies were right. Invading Iraq was a bad idea. We were simply victims of the drug think that is American politics. "Ugg, liberal pussy against war. Me big patriot. Me for war."
They used the 2000 election to pass the HAVA act putting electronic machines everywhere....machines by Diebold, now dominion.
In 2004, Kerry collected all kinds of money to challenge the election then when the exit polls were the exact opposite of election results....he threw in the towel before anyone could look at the problems and kept millions in donations.
He definitely threw the election and they both still work for the same people.
When you notice both Democrats and Republicans hating on Trump, that's the big group and we ain't in it.
Trump is the way to expose the swamp, and boy has he done it.
It is clear almost our entire Congress has to be removed. We can start with a list of all the corrupt bastards pushing for WW3/looting 4 Ukraine.
I voted Badnarik, the evils of the Bush regime and then Obama carrying the same torch is what has driven me to straight up anarcho-capitalism/voluntaryism
All of these people are evil. They literally laugh about their mass murders, drone targetting and invasive surveilance.
Russia had a million times more justification to invade Ukraine than the US did Iraq. But now the piece of shit who lied us into the tragic and pointless Iraq war pontificates on the failings of the Russian government- it’s so preposterous that it has actually become comical.
"Russian elections are rigged. Political opponents are eliminated from participating in the electoral process"- GWB. I think he was talking about the US especially with his gaffe about Iraq. OUR elections have been rigged for a long time. The Demtards tried to stop Paul Gosar and MTG from being on the ballot recently. Killary's attorney dog, Marc Elias, is trying to prevent PDJT from being on the election ballot in 2024 because of muh Jan 6 "insurrection." When our own country is the same as if not worse than Russia, we KNOW we have a serious problem.
Barry is now in his second year of his third term which is, in effect, his 10th year at destroying our country. Pretty much everyone knows that Pedo Joe is just an empty suit.
It's not an accident. They love to boast of their evils. It's a common trait of sociopaths. They tease and mock you by telling you what they've done. It seems to give them a rush when they are confident there's nothing you can do about it. Knocking the smirk off an overconfident sociopaths face is one of many great joys life has to offer.
There are two words in there which are particularly stupid, even stupider than his slip of tongue. Let's take a look:
brutal
Yes, it's a literal war. Not sure if Dubya ever heard it mentioned, but war is hell. What did he think it would be like, the militaries deciding the outcome based on whether chicken Kiev is better than beef stroganoff?
unjusitifed
Yes, someone always thinks a war is unjustified. That's why we have had rules about when actual nation-states can wage war for many centuries. My in-depth history knowledge only goes to the Middle Ages, but I do know a bit about the Classical Antiquity, and I do know the concept of causus belli was important to the Greeks and the Romans, though they had a looser view of what valid. That said, whether people agree with it or not, Russia's alliances with Donetsk and Luhansk provided a legal causus bellum (specifically, causus foederis, which involves offenses or threats to allies but excludes any against a particular state, in this case Russia). So the Russian invasion may not be (depending on opinion) morally justifiable, but it is justified in the only way that truly matters, and that is legally.
Imagine Mexico declares some parts of Texas as independent states, sends troops to protect young democracies and Spanish-speaking people from oppression of evil gringos. That's how it looked like.
Yes, that would be perfectly legal. If those regions of Texas first declare themselves independent, and entrer into an alliance with Mexico. Russia didn't just decide Donetsk and Luhansk were independent, and declare war. First Donetsk and Luhansk declared themselves independent, then Russian recognized those claims and entered into an alliance with each of them. The alliance is what gives causus belli, not the matter of independence.
Now, that's not to say Russia didn't have ulterior motives. They certainly did and do. That much we can all agree upon. Russia had no great reason to enter into either alliance given they really don't get much in return on paper, but at the same time they couldn't respond to NATO encroachment until attacked without a valid causus belli, which the alliances gave them.
Note it isn't required that your causus belli be provided with honest intent, just that it exist, a fact Russia made full use of here.
No. It would be like parts of Texas choosing independence or Union with Mexico and the rest of Texas bombing the fuck out of them until Mexico intervenes to stop the slaughter.
And why the rest of Texas (and all other states) should not bomb the fuck out of them? What about residents who did not choose this independence and want to live in their homes under US jurisdiction?
“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
Bush was a huge reason why I grew up as a democrat (and it took me awhile to see that the democrats actually still managed to be worse than him which is saying something).
Lol! I was comparing Iraq to Ukraine all day with my idiot lefty coworker and he kept saying how it's different... Can't wait to play him this tomorrow
Shit, there's a word or phrase for when somebody did or is doing something wrong, and they slip and reveal it. Not Freudian Slip, but more to do with Hubris. I want to say the "Dark Twin" takes over? Something like that.
You can't make this shit up 😂
How is this real ?
Fucking how?
Lately I've been saying that Bush's verbal gaffes had nothing on Biden's, but this freshest instance is prompting me to reconsider.
No, Bush and his globalist pals are rubbing our noses in it. Biden can't tie his own shoes.
Biden used to rub our noses in it too, but as you pointed out, his mind is gone.
I'll bet he can't do this: https://youtu.be/_RFH7C3vkK4
Never gets old.....👍
The only thing Biden rubs is his erection against a 9 year old when he is raping her
Or him. Don't assume a pedo's preferred pronouns bigot!
In 2009, Bush was the keynote speaker at a Schwab event where they invited the top independent financial advisors in the country. I was not on the invite list, but a few of my colleagues were. These are sharp guys, and they were blown away about how intelligent he was. Just the opposite of what they'd been led to expect.
Anecdotal, but an interesting observation, I thought.
He’s part of the globalist elites. He and most of these swamp monsters are just actors. To think that they are anything but cunning is naive.
The Bushes might be part of the actual nobility. But cunning indeed.
They look inbred, just like the Saxe-Coburg Gotha creatures.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a common ancestor in the not too distant past.
That's interesting. I remember a Pede commented a couple of weeks ago that he remembered Bush as originally being fairly sharp before his presidency.
Yeah people pointed this out during his presidency. He seemed far more articulate and intelligent in pre-presidency clips.
Drugs was a common speculation, as was some sort of act to be relatable as a country bumbkin despite being born in Connecticut and attending Yale and Harvard.
He bought a ranch in Texas before running to help with this image, and IIRC he sold it not long after 2008.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairie_Chapel_Ranch
He still has it, although they moved to Dallas.
He was a part owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team for the same reason.
he had the highest approval rating ever after 9/11
I started disliking him on 9/12/01 after his speech. At the time, I thought he blew the opportunity to unite the world and instead turned it into a holy war.
Now we know why.
he was great in his first term but once he became duck made a 180
He was in on 9/11, Fuck that cocksucker
him and bill clinton, dont forget
even if that is true it does not change what I said
He turned me republican with his rubble speech. That was the moment.
Only good thing he did.
when he took office, Clinton's acolytes removed the W from every keyboard in the White House
It was an amazing speech. I was at just the right age to be taken in by it as well.
And for weeks after “Can you imagine Al Gore making a speech like that?”
crazy huh.. man i would really enjoy hearing their reaction to him
to be fair, at least bush is self aware enough to admit it, lmao...
i hope Biden starts accidentally speaking the truth
No one would be able to decipher any of it.
It would end up as nothing but a rambling mess.
He did.
Presidency is Kamala/Jill Biden.
I hope he has another brain aneurysm
I’ve heard rumors on the internets that when you’re in his profession you have to repeat yourself a lot to kind of catapult the propaganda and put food on your family.
Why would you ever put food on your family?
I think he is giving examples of bush-style gaffes
If this were a dictatorship it would be a heck of a lot easier... as long as I'm the dictator.
Biden naked sushi on his granddaughter
“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
guitar riff intensifies
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
"I know the human being and fish can co-exist peacefully."
also love this projection which applies to him and Biden...
"He built up a massive war machine while neglecting the basic needs of his own people" George W Bush
Can someone make a meme of this?
Ya I was in middle school.

A few excerpts:
Oof that last one hurts.
I never would have predicted that the "some smart person" would in fact be Donald Trump.
Are you sure he misspoke?
Did your school have these gay computers?
https://files.catbox.moe/g9t6dz.jpg
Mine did when I began Jr. High. Had more outdated ones in elementary when we'd play the Oregon trail.
Great game
Absolutely, lots of fun!
Great game. Did you prefer to attempt fording the rivers, caulking/floating your wagon, taking a ferry, or waiting 2 weeks to see if conditions improved?
Indeed it was. I wasn't very good at it, I usually died of starvation, dehydration or disease or the livestock died before I could do anything cool but dang I always enjoyed playing it regardless of how bad I was.
Real men will always ford the river (and lose half their shit).
Floating all the way.
you have died of dysentary
I certainly did 🪦😆
The original crap computer, the Apple IIe. Far more expensive and far less capable than a C64, esp. in Music, Graphics, and all around versatility.
I adore my 64! you can still get the game roms and use a C64 emulator on Retropie...
IK2+ , Paradroid, Elite and Pit stop 2
Not mine, Richie Rich. We had IBM with green screen and orange letters. Oregon Trail was the only game
I am old enough to remember having TRS-80s in middle school and finishing my BASIC programming course on Tandy 1000's in high school.
No joke. I worked for a company for a short time that distributed the Apple IIe. Apple had a major distribution contract with schools. They subcontracted out organizations to do the repair work on those things. That was a miserable computer to work on. 5lbs of crap in a 10lb. bag.
This fucking timeline right?
Because God is real.
Remember this?
Like father like son.
For real! This video needs archived! Freudian slip by yet another globalist scumbag in cognitive decline
Ultra Bizarro Clown World Express is full steam ahead!
Sounds like his dad when asked where he was when JFK was uninstalled…
Idk Babylon bee seems to be able too.
why do you think its funny - he can say that live in your face and its true and yet he is making his millions and laughing at you while fucking kids?
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.
Now do building 7, George.
Was WTC7 where the Pentagon was hiding the missing $4T?
That's like $7T in 2022 dollars 🤔
Like filling up the gas tank in 2030
That 4T likely went into bio-labs and WMDs to be used against us later.
pretty sure he only owned towers 1 & 2 but I could be wrong
He might've been feeling lucky and decided to insure someone else's building
Fill me in.... Who is he?
Man I remember watching on TV when 7 fell and the media was so quick to brush it off like it wasn't a big deal. "nobody was inside, it was just the aftermath of being damaged from the towers. At the time I remember thinking that makes no sense at all, why didn't all the other buildings fall too then? I was 11 years old and my BS meter was going off like crazy.
Saying the quiet part out loud.
First part especially. About the elections in Russia, he actually means US.
Alinsky tactics
LOOKS LIKE BUSHISMS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
MMM. Peach Bush.
Peach. Bush.
Redundant
I hate having shook this dipshits hand. It's depressing thinking about how brainwashed we all used to be honestly. I legit thought he was the best thing for our nation.
It was one of those moments where the liberal pussies were right. Invading Iraq was a bad idea. We were simply victims of the drug think that is American politics. "Ugg, liberal pussy against war. Me big patriot. Me for war."
How many of them were against the war because "muh Republicans bad"?
At least every single one that voted to re-elect Obama in 2012.
That's exactly it. You'll notice they support every war that a Dem president launches.
That's exactly why people need to think for themselves instead of just cheerleading red team or blue team.
All the main democrap politicians supported the war too.
the alternative choice was al gore and john kerry so it's not like there was a good choice
Both Bush and Kerry are Skull and Bones members.
They used the 2000 election to pass the HAVA act putting electronic machines everywhere....machines by Diebold, now dominion.
In 2004, Kerry collected all kinds of money to challenge the election then when the exit polls were the exact opposite of election results....he threw in the towel before anyone could look at the problems and kept millions in donations.
He definitely threw the election and they both still work for the same people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7l9QmtiXHU
Until Trump I always felt I was just voting for the lesser of two evils.
Still feel that way.
The institution itself is fundamentally and irredeemably evil and corrupts everyone who participates to some extent.
I voted Badnarik, the evils of the Bush regime and then Obama carrying the same torch is what has driven me to straight up anarcho-capitalism/voluntaryism
All of these people are evil. They literally laugh about their mass murders, drone targetting and invasive surveilance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64MkJ1fe46c
That's funny lol. Thank you for that
Remember the Republicans they ran against Obama as an illusion of choice and now you know they are all in on it together
Not only did he make a whopper of a Freudian slip, all the things he claims Putin are doing are exactly what Zelensky is really doing.
Outlawing opposing political parties, etc.
Yup. It's a double whammy.
I would love to see zelensky's head on the end of a pike
Man this is gold.
Also his way of describing elections sounds like the US. Such hypocrites.
Good thing the USA elections are "fortified".
Jan6 political prisoners, Big Tech censorship including Trump banned from Twitter.
It's almost like this shit stain's family and friends are still running our foreign policy
Building 7 did not freefall because of an office fire.
Pull it
Freudian slip of the decade
"Hahahaha war crimes, am I right guys? Hahahaha"
He was too comfortable talking about America when talking about elections he just thought he’d continue
Russia had a million times more justification to invade Ukraine than the US did Iraq. But now the piece of shit who lied us into the tragic and pointless Iraq war pontificates on the failings of the Russian government- it’s so preposterous that it has actually become comical.
Biden was the Bush/Cheney man in the Senate to sell the lies to the Democrats.
I mean … you know … it’s just that … well, fuck.
I'm not sure which this is most... truth, hypocrisy, or irony lmao.
This is amazing.
"It's okay when we do it. You can't do that, you evil dictators!".
Ummm…
“I’m contrast…”
Uh huh.
They’re laughing at us.
Was he talking about the 2020 election, Jan 6 protestors and criminal persecution of Trump trying to exclude him from running in 2024 ?
The original braindead Resident
As these dementia-riddled lizards age, they won’t be able to keep their lies straight.
We live in the Info Age now which why they tried so hard to restrict internet Freedoms.
I do like our odds and think it will be fun. Muhahahah (<Google just attempted to change that to Muhammad lol)
Red pills come when you least expect them 💊
glad to know he’s still a fucking dumbass
This fucking guy.
Bush Jr is the original gaffe machine
Obama says um duh um um um um
Trump spoke clear as day
Biden can't even follow a teleprompter run by the CIA.
Is this 81 Million votes. jpeg
Trunalunalimprezzre you are doing cocaine and if you don't you aren't black look fat I dont work for you and that is the truth over facts c'mon mang
To be fair, Trump had some pretty funny moments too. Definitely leagues better than Bush or Biden though
"Russian elections are rigged. Political opponents are eliminated from participating in the electoral process"- GWB. I think he was talking about the US especially with his gaffe about Iraq.

When our own country is the same as if not worse than Russia, we KNOW we have a serious problem.
Putin rules for 22 years already, adapting constitutions to his whims. Elections are fake there.
And the uniparty has ruled a lot longer than that here in the United States.
Barry is now in his second year of his third term which is, in effect, his 10th year at destroying our country. Pretty much everyone knows that Pedo Joe is just an empty suit.
Consistent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKX6luiMINQ
This guy is an idiot.
Just like o'biden's "we put together the largest vote cheating organization".
These dumbass fucks (ex-Presidents and whitehouse press corps) can’t even read their own script right.
It's not an accident. They love to boast of their evils. It's a common trait of sociopaths. They tease and mock you by telling you what they've done. It seems to give them a rush when they are confident there's nothing you can do about it. Knocking the smirk off an overconfident sociopaths face is one of many great joys life has to offer.
You’re 100% right. They do rub it in our faces. It Explains their dupers delight smiles on their faces while they do it too.

No. It would be like parts of Texas choosing independence or Union with Mexico and the rest of Texas bombing the fuck out of them until Mexico intervenes to stop the slaughter.
On a faked referendum that did not represent majority of population. Organized by armed mercenaries from Russia.
And why the rest of Texas (and all other states) should not bomb the fuck out of them? What about residents who did not choose this independence and want to live in their homes under US jurisdiction?
our elections are rigged and they constantly trying to put trump is jail so mr.bush how are we any different then russia.
Just when you thought we'd seen the last of the W gaffes
“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
Life is weird right now
Hahaha - it’s funny - get it - Iraq - hahaha - what a scumbag
They are all so fucking laughable. It is truly pathetic.
Hahahaha. Ah man, I knew you were good for one more laugh, Georgie.
Bush was a huge reason why I grew up as a democrat (and it took me awhile to see that the democrats actually still managed to be worse than him which is saying something).
He's now a puppet of the Dems. Weak.
He was always a puppet for the uniparty. I just wish I would’ve recognized it before I voted for him.
Lol! I was comparing Iraq to Ukraine all day with my idiot lefty coworker and he kept saying how it's different... Can't wait to play him this tomorrow
Baghdad was captured in 22 days. Russia retreated from Kyiv in one month. At least, US knows how to make war.
you assume Russia wanted to take Kiev
hahahahaha
We haven't officially been at war since WWII.
Globohomo ain't our war. You don't want to see our war.
The human brain knows... this fucker was not cut out for it - hence the picture in Epstein’s house-
Bush and Blair are war criminals.
That is just too perfect😭😭
Shit, there's a word or phrase for when somebody did or is doing something wrong, and they slip and reveal it. Not Freudian Slip, but more to do with Hubris. I want to say the "Dark Twin" takes over? Something like that.
This fucking guy.
Oh look the person who McCormick worked for and who’s agenda McCormick pushed.
Someone call the GUAC MERCHANT....Jeb! to the rescue...
As fucked up as Russia has been, their wars in Georgia, and annexation of Ukrainian territory... what I've seen the US do is twice as horrifying.
They are experimenting on little children. What else is there to say? Yet he is silent. Why? Someone should ask him about this.
He admits it
The fact that he smirks and shrugs afterwards like “Well, yeah that too.” I have no words.
He started our downfall
Never a coincidence.
He's crocked off his ass!
